The Oprah Winfrey Show: Ending After 25 Years.

As most of you have heard by now, The Oprah Winfrey Show will cease in 2011. Holding back tears, Oprah Winfrey told her studio audience Friday that she would end her show after a quarter-century on the air. She said praying and careful thought led her to her ultimate decision.

Winfrey told the audience that she loved the show and that it had been her life and that she knew when it was time to say goodbye. “Twenty-five years feels right in my bones and feels right in my spirit,” she said.

Unfortunately, Winfrey offered no specifics about her plans for the future, except to say that she intended to produce the best possible shows during her last 18 months on the air. Looking forward to the future shows - and at least we still have The Oprah Magazine.
